About Govardhan
Govardhan is a sacred town in the Mathura district, deeply connected to the life of Lord Krishna. It holds immense religious significance and attracts thousands of devotees throughout the year.
The town is centered around the holy Govardhan Hill (Giriraj), which, according to Hindu mythology, was lifted by Lord Krishna to protect the people of Braj. This divine story makes Govardhan one of the most important pilgrimage sites in India.
One of the main spiritual activities here is the Govardhan Parikrama, a sacred walk around the hill covering approximately 21 km. Devotees perform this parikrama with deep faith, visiting important spots like Daan Ghati, Radha Kund, Shyam Kund, and Kusum Sarovar along the route.
Apart from the parikrama, visitors can explore temples, kunds, and ghats that reflect Krishna’s divine pastimes. The peaceful environment and spiritual energy of Govardhan make it a must-visit destination for pilgrims and seekers.
The best time to visit Govardhan is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant for performing parikrama and sightseeing.
Whether you are on a religious journey or exploring the Braj region, Govardhan offers a deeply spiritual and fulfilling travel experience.
